p We have to be better prepared for acting according to the conditions of time and space. In this seminar, we have heard commentaries and reports practically from all the continents of the world about how to face the situation in our countries. On the basis of these, we can arrive at the conclusion that class struggle continues to be the most important aspect of our society - since bourgeois economy continues to divide our countries and nations. And hence people are organised in political parties according to ideologies.

p I believe that our pre-occupation is how to defeat our class enemies, how to change the present situation into one in which majority of our people can enjoy the best cultural and material resources that ordinary man has created.

p The experience that we have is rich and creative.There are many similarities in our activities but the most relevant point is that where we have ideological unity and organisation, we advance most. That is why we consider that the unity of all the democratic and revolutionary forces is fundamental for our victory.

p This type of meetings of revolutionary men and women should be made frequently because this is how we learn other people’s experiences and fortify our revolutionary unity.

Just as we had a conference of parties last February - parties of U.S.A, Canada and Mexico,—the same kind of conference we are 349 planning to hold in October this year in Mexico where workers’ and communist parties of Latin America will discuss about the conditions of the working class. We would invite you to attend the conference as observers to have a first-hand knowledge of the conditions and struggle of the working class in Latin America.
